Default Question about Trailing Edges

I believe I read somewhere that it's better to have a trailing edge end with some thickness and a squared off edge, rather than a knife edge. It apparently causes enough "disturbance" to allow the upper and lower airflows to rejoin, whereas a knife edge doesn't promote the rejoining.

Is this an urban legend or useful information?

Thanks
