But truth be told, they earned them in unordinary circumstances:

Rainbow got her by doing Sonic Rainboom: a stunt so rare, that Pegasi-bullies in E16 claimed, that there is no such thing.

Rarity used it for the first time when she needed something to make costumes better. She was dragged to a HUGE pile od gems.

Even though Fluttershy had never before been on the ground and therefore had never seen an animal (at least none, that can't fly), she calmed a whole phletora of pets after a lound explosion. Bring your dog to a New Year celebration and then try to calm it down - good luck!

As for Twilight: she had been studying magic before on her own, but then was her first day in the school for gifted unicorns. She got her CM after a powerful surge of magic.

For Pinkie it's a bit tricky. I guess, that throwing a party in half-desrtet place for ponies that might not have laughted in long time is pretty unordinary.

And Applejack, while she had always been at the Apple farm, she got her CM when she realised, this was her place. Her destiny.

So I guess, that CM are earned either after doing something repeatedly or doing something in extraordinary circumstances.
