And how would your server differentiate between a "good" RPC call and a
"bad" one?

Yes, this is probably all you'll be able to do. (Besides code
obfuscation that doesn't make your code significantly harder to "steal".)

It is trivial for any attacker to throw a brick through my window and
steal all of my furniture while I am not home.  Why don't they do it on
a daily basis?  The risk and consequences of getting caught vs. the
rewards of fencing my crappy furniture.
