I'm definitely not suggesting that any data set is going to be perfect.
I think we need more data points though. What's the MR of the mobs charmed in each study. What's the level of the Enchanter versus the level of the mob being charmed in each instance (the P99 test may have disclosed the player's level, but I didn't see it in the quote)? Both of those are established as two of the saves you have to make for a Charm break. IIRC, CHA is supposedly the third one and the least important of the three. That could explain why the CHA in the Live tests doesn't seem to make as much of a difference versus the duration, and perhaps the P99 tests MR and level difference is creating the long duration.

You didn't go to the source, eh?
The chanter, Wandatin, was level 58 the day he made the thread and was testing charm against a green-con-but-exp-giving seafury (so like... level 42-43?) with no tash or other MR effects on the target. The next day, iirc, he posted in the same thread saying that he tested charms against a level 50 NPC with no tash, and then again with no tash but WITH Resist Magic (+40 MR). He presumably was still level 58 in the later tests he did since it was less than 24 hours later, even though he doesn't actually spell it out.
