Keep the recommendation while the evidence still supports it, but update if new facts materially change the case.

Senior interviewers often test whether you can defend a view without becoming defensive.

Listen for new information rather than stronger tone. Defend unchanged facts and revise when the facts change. If useful, this guide on final-round consulting interviews gives more detail.

Pushback isn't always a hint to change your answer.
