I'm tired of this also, so I'll make this response short. By analogy to English:

* "far" is an English adverb.
* "lands" is an English noun.
* "far lands" is an English noun phrase.

* Therefore, a noun phrase in English can consist of an adverb
immediately followed by a noun that is modified by the adverb

The fallacy here is that the "far" in "far lands" is used as an
adjective, not an adverb. I think that the same fallacy applies to the
Python expressions above. If you disagree, that's fine; I'll let it
go.
