Liquid democracy doesn't appear to protect against the "Tyranny of the majority" [1], just like direct democracy.

Isn't that an orthogonal problem? Liquid democracy does not change the number of votes nor does it define how to make the decision (majority rule or whatever).
if you plan to use this system instead of democracy, I think that it is very relevant...
