Why is 3D an impossible bid? 2S still has a fairly high maximum, and game is still possible.

I didn't say it was impossible, I said it was "impossible".

Normally, you would not expect a hand that could bid only 1♠ on the first round, to be able to invite, just because partner confirms that he has his bid, and 4, not 3, spades.

So it must be a maximum 1♠, that has grown immensely.

In any case, this discussion is really pointless. We have a minimum for our previous bidding. Hence we don't accept an invitation.
Sometimes, bridge is a simple game.

In-very-deed.

If you play 2♠ over the redouble as weakish, I don't think this sequence exists.

Partner can't bid 1♠ on an invitational hand - he will play there whenever responder has psyched.  With a hand that's too good for 2♠, he has to either pass or cue-bid.  A sequence like
  1♦ dbl rdbl pass
  2♦ pass pass 2♠
shows an invitational 2♠ bid
