Artificial corks were actually designed for slower maturing wines I thought. Natural cork can rot and produce fungus over time.

(May 24 06, 08:41)Whenever I get my car's oil changed, the mechanic always shows me the dip stick with the oil on it ... like I'm supposed to know what that is supposed to look like too.
... Damn it I know full well there is way too many words up there to not get quoted and changed up.

I know, my reaction was the same, but in terms of winemaking, they work better, and more and more high end winemakers are using them
