No, I have it the right way around. Artificial languages can be irregular, so your order doesn’t necessarily follow.
No regular language can be artificial, though, so if you come across a regular language, you can always conclude that it’s artificial. And, since “therefore” isn’t only used for causation, but also for any conclusion supported by sufficient evidence, my usage was correct.
