There are lots of factors involved in peeling a perfect egg, most seem to matter before you hand it to a person to peel it.
The most applicable areas where "get it right the first time" seems to apply are areas with a high cost of failure (this priceless gem will never be the same again, If I care enough about the presentation of this dish I will have to boil another egg).
This also relates well to deliberate practice where a technique to make practicing a skill harder is to be less tolerant of errors. A novel challenge is good, but in most real-world novel situations with high-cost-failures the situation is not easy to replicate.
Another area that comes to mind with high cost of failure and "get it right" model would be hostage negotiations.
