Everyone knows that a space torpedo exlodes when it gets near its target, and it's the bLast radius that translates into its bonus to hit

Right. And since beam weapons don't really go the speed of light, at least they don't in every show I have ever seen, they aren't a sure thing to hit. A torpedo is too fast to be effectively evaded, but it can have some homing ability that a beam cannot so can make up for mistakes made in aiming, which a beam cannot.

We can make up anything we want to and make it sound plausible.
