If you get that liability too low, then when they run out of insurance coverage, your personal assets will be sold to cover the difference. The insurance company won't start paying out of the bodily/property portion without a lawsuit, once the lawsuit is started then you are liable for the judgement whatever it is. If the judgement is 500000, and you only had 50,000 in coverage, then you owe 450,000 out of pocket.

Thats the basic idea of what they are saying I believe.
