I've never heard about it before I saw it so I doubt that. I can't think of any advantage they can claim in advertisement. I would ask Buffet but...

I now fill the gaps first. Then, if I still need very thick cork, I first glue a layer of rubber-cork and the natural cork over that. The result is as good as any tenon cork but just a lot more work. This probably makes the tenon a little stronger too, one of the problems of this wavy design, but maybe not by much.
Honestly maybe the only reason I can think of is that a person who had no idea somehow got to the position of deciding this. Very strange.
