I think we all know a mob when we see one.

If the mob is acting to achieve an ends I perceive as immoral, I am very quick to see a mob.

If the mob is acting to achieve an ends I perceive as righteous, I might never see the mob for what they really are.

I've found many people do even less well than I do, at this.

Clearly not, you'll need to be a bit more convincing than "I know it when I see it."
When confronted with a mob you won't have any questions or about whether is or is not.
