Welcome to SRP Bill. I assume you've already perused the SRP Wiki but just in case you haven't here is the section on honing. If you go to Lynn Abrams on honing he addresses his reasons for using the x stroke as well as many other honing topics. He has honed thousands of razors and is the founder of SRP.
In addition here is an excerpt from a 1961 barber manual on honing and stropping. I have found it very usefull in my learning. They explain the x stroke in the manual also.
Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
