I'm not a native English speaker and understood it, as the author intended it. It was a bit confusing at first, because "far" is seldom used by itself in English in this way, but I settled on "far from" as opposed to "far along".

It's not seldom used in that way. In my experience, I would say that "far" by itself more commonly refers to "far along" until otherwise clarified with "far away".

The title is simply ambiguous.
