As a neutral party in this discussion, I'd like to point out that your "calcul" was pretty gibberishy. Perhaps it makes more sense when the thought process behind it is fully laid out, but the equation you gave is hardly transparent. Where are you even getting a multiplier from?

I get that you're trying to come at this with the goal of consolidating these skills' functions, but your argument in support of its hypothetical superiority to a more piecemeal approach to a social magus is a bit all over the place, and more than a little difficult to follow.
