The icon in game does say "increased resistance to silence," but I still think Puppet's Operetta is resistance to Charm. There are a few higher level mobs that can charm players and have them do their bidding. I don't think Puppet's Operetta is a stronger version of Scop's Operetta. For one, a charmed being would be considered a puppet because they have no control over their actions. This is just common sense. And, for two, there are no stronger versions of Gold Cappricio, Goblin's Gavotte, Foul Aubade, Herb Pastoral, Chocobo Hum or Shining Fantasia. If they made a stronger version for Scop's Operetta, they would've made it for the rest of the lower level resistance songs. A couple of other well-respected FFXI sites say that it is charm resist. I don't trust those icons anyway. Stupid icon descriptions, demanding respect. Peh!
