First, thank you for the compliment.

Your conclusion is probably pessimistic. In my experience, collinearity 
problems are relatively rare -- do you have a reason to believe that you 
have a collinearity problem? Also, as an approximation, you'd likely do 
well just to look at the VIFs or GVIFs based only on the model matrix, 
as would be appropriate for a linear model.

Best,
  John
