hmmmm - plugs

My 8 threw a flashing CEL (15 seconds) last week while driving on the freeway. Didn't run any differently before or after the CEL
I took it in to a dealership the next day :

All these threads about our plugs are worrying me, why are the plugs failing or found to be VERY dirty with such low miles???

I'm glad it happened before my 50k warranty is up.
I think the plug issues are from cars that had the earlier PCM flashes....
