The mob rule doesn't automatically set the ld value, but allows you to replace the actual value with another one, thus forcing a recalculation in the moment you choose to substitute statline for the number of orks.

And the Ork FAQ makes it clear that the maximum value Ld can be changed to via the Mob Rule is '10'...it never gets higher than that ever because there is no such characteristic in existence.

Actually it doesn't make that clear. At what point is the maximum/minimum determined? Before applying modifiers? After each modifier? At the end of the calculation?

My examples were pointing at this: common practice is taking all effects into account and then applying the maximum/minimum rule, not applying it somewhere along the way.
