That explanation works, well done.

"Since you would not remember making the wish, and since you would see no evidence of a wish having been made, you would not regret having made the wish" does not.

(It still leaves open the possibility of wishing for an outcome I would be actively pleased with, also, but that's a matter for the wisher, not the genie.)
