[gov2001-l] Counterfactuals and collinearity

Does high collinearity (>0.9) have any consequences on convex hull and Gower's distance calculations? I'm analyzing a dataset that includes time, time^2 and time^3 and this seems to be an issue. I'm not officially part of the class so feel free not to reply.
