Social Regard in particular assumes that most people you meet will react well, but it doesn't rule out cranks or those who are merely indifferent.
But how does it mesh with Charisma? Charisma is foolproof (except for Intolerance: Charismatic People, which seems very weird), gives skill bonuses and modifies certain skills' area of effect. Social Regard does nothing side from boosting reaction modifiers. Why are they both worth 5 points per level?
