Why would なら be used if なら is conditional? Couldn't you just use は?

question
grammar meaning
Why is なら used in this sentence この内容なら勉強になるね。
Like Felipe's comment mentioned, I don't quite understand why you would think
a conditional is not ok in this sentence. In fact, you can translate this
sentence literally into English and it would make perfect sense.

> この内容なら勉強になるね  
>  If (it's) this content, (I) will study.

Although I think "I will be taught" is a better translation for 勉強になる, as it's
a phrase you say when you get to learn something new.

Can you use は? Yes absolutely you can, but the meaning would change a little.

> この内容は勉強になるね  
>  As for this content, (I) will study.

A very subtle change in emphasis of the sentence, if you can see how the two
English sentences differ, you can understand how the two Japanese sentences
differ.
