I dont think thats what they were alluding to.
I think they meant that the algorithm was able to create amino-acid chains that formed functional regions similar to those found on natural protiens.
They are saying that a grammatically correct sequence would be one that forms at least a quasi-functional region.
To continue the analogy to written language a logically correct sentence(which this algorithm doesnt create) would be one that formed a region that could actually be used for a preconcieved function in a protien.
