"Larger Analysis"
Oh please.
Any analysis you provide will be incomplete propaganda because you have already made up your mind before the analysis even began. We don't trust you. We don't like you. You clearly have an agenda. Your motivations are deeply rooted in bias, therefore any supposed "analysis" you provide should be thrown out.
The only "evidence" I would accept at this point, is for you and Dolalin to track down an original EQ Dev, specifically the people who coded enchanter mechanics and get them on the record about this issue. Trying to rely on posts, musing and thoughts of PLAYERS (20 Years Ago) is comical at best trying to prove something like this.
Are there any patch notes that comment specifically on the reliability of charm? Any? Made better? Made worse? Charisma having an effect? You're standing on a soap box thumbing your nose at a lot of people playing a specific class. The burden of proof needs to beyond angelfire pages, forum posts and blogs.

Is there proof that the current mechanics are era classic? I personally have no idea where the devs got their formulas, etc. from. This is an _emulator. Most formula are best guess.
To your point, the evidence presented by OP et al is largely circumstantial, but it might be stronger than evidence showing the current implementation is correct.
