There are limitations to that immunity. And this comment doesn't address my point. To paraphrase your initial comment into a question, "If millions of dollars are at stake, then why wouldn't the insurance companies (and why won't the airlines) make the defense that Silverstein conspired to demolish the buildings for gain?"
Well, I find it odd that you find it odd that a lawyer wouldn't drag his/her client into an argument that would essentially take on the government's "official" position. It would cost millions upon millions to fight an up hill battle like that since all the evidence has been done away with.

Yes, putting every single claim into a single group and identifying that group as having 1 claim with various counts is simple arithmetic. But it's completely without merit.
