Interview Question: Disagreeing With A Fund's Investment

I have an interview with a PE fund next week and wanted to get folks' opinion on this. 

Last year I closed a sell-side for a company that is a direct competitor to and basically identical to one of the fund's portfolio companies, so I'm sure I'm going to get asked about the deal and whether I liked it / would have done it. My honest answer is that I think the deal made sense for the strategic that bought the company but if I were a PE fund, I would not have done the deal. All of the reasons why I don't like this deal / company apply to the portfolio company as well. Is this super Risky? Should I just make something up about why I like the deal / would have invested?   

I don't think disagreeing with this investment necessarily means I'm inherently against the investment philosophy of the firm and I actually really like the industry. That being said, I just don't think any of the companies in the industry are investable.
