It's not splash, it's arcing. The distinction is a key mechanical one, and conceptualizing it is vital to understanding how the damage distribution works.
If it's arcing damage there shouldn't be any "lost" damage. If it can't arc to a 2nd adjacent section that 2.5 damage should be going to either the 1st adjacent or remain on the point of contact, the energy doesn't just vanish.
It's not doing that, so no matter what the name is (Paul called it "spread" in the Command Chair) for all intents and purposes it is a "splash" mechanic and has an area of effect.
