Sorry just bad phrasing on my part. I meant that's the contract you consider when assessing whether damage was caused, it's far too late in the auction to roll it back.

I believe pass is a logical alternative - after all, East passed the first time after 2♠.
This is fallacious. A pass on the previous round does not necessarily mean pass is a logical alternative on the current round. We have more information which may suggest bidding. 3s on the previous round would be invitational, or at least we may have thought so, but it's only competitive on this round. We had the opportunity of playing 2s previously now or choice is to play 3s or defend. Our decision on the previous round has little bearing on the current situation.
