My opinion is that the whole point of a recall is that it is completed quickly, accurately and obviously completely. Jumping out of a recall has to be a major no no unless there is a clearly greater threat that requires immediate action. I wouldn't regard not accelerating as any kind of threat in the circumstances described above.
Neither do I believe you should just agree with the checkie for the sake of an easy life. If I am being told to do something that seems significantly wrong to me I seek clarification and at least determine if tne feedback is bonkfide SOP or personal opinion. I am sure you have to tread carefully with some characters, but I think something is wrong if we walk out of a check more confused than we walked in.
