Every reallife charismatic person can read people.
To separate people-reading from Charisma, is as idiotic as separating climbing from balance. Oh, wait! Idiotic!
The six abilities are highly problematic.
rolleyesNo. Many Charismatic people also have Wisdom.
Many Charismatic people also don't have high Wisdom.
I know Charismatic people who are as perceptive as a brick. All too well.
The stereotypical pretty moron has high Charisma but is easily fooled (low Wis) and can't process info (low Int).
The Six ability scores work.

First of all, social skills, and "emotional intelligence", inherently requires both.
If not, it is like being an excellent pitcher who is blind.
Speaking of idiotic.
The Wisdom ability is idiotic.
Having good eyesight has zero relationship to having strong willpower. Utterly unrelated.
Did you know 5e bats and deer are "wiser" than humans?
And none of it actually has to do with reallife "wisdom", which is expertise, or intuition and discernment, more like Investigation, or Lore checks.
If done today they would be Perception/Senses and Personality/Confidence
actually....Being "eloquent" means knowing ones audience! Reading people. Otherwise, one can come across as "tone-deaf" or inappropriate.
At least here you seem to admit, the abilities need to change. At least the names need to change to help them make more sense.
But social perceptions have zero to do with sensory perceptions. Completely unrelated abilities. I have a blind friend who in fact happens to be emotionally intelligent. There is zero relationship between physical senses and empathic social skills. Zero.
D&D six abilities are. Wrong.
Also imbalanced.
Sensory Perception should be a Perception (Constitution) check.
We explicitly legalized the metric system in 1866, thanks. It's currently still illegal to sell draught beer and cider in metric units in the UK.If the Rebels are wanting to adopt the metric system, they're going to have to adopt the Queen's English i.e. metre
