 - but how close is "very close"?  I don't think it can be, 
with 30/31  as the R-squared expected by chance.

Using the adjusted R-squared formula in Cohen and Cohen, 
the distance from 1.0  will be 30 times as big as the observed,
so that .9954  will be shrunk to .86.  Assuming that you do start
with the full number of variables in the equation, as is usually 
recommended.  But you still get "a lot"  of shrinkage by my 
book, even if you say the error is (say) only 10 times as 
big as the observed error of 0.0046.
