Don't know what to tell you.....I guess if you haven't, you haven't. Maybe you're doing it not quite right? I've never FF'd with reduced loads or fillers, and in more than 25yrs of shooting AI's have never had a case that wasn't perfectly formed after one firing. Not even one. People I know who shoot AI's have no problems forming brass either. Even an extreme wildcat like the 240Gibbs, one firing is all it took.
Nope.... never seen the shoulders 100% formed after 1 firing. Seen them up to say 98% formed, but never totally 100% after only 1 firing (even from stiff enough loads that wrecked primer pockets).
And have seen them considerable less then formed, when lighter methods such as pistol powders, COW, hydro-formed, mild loads, etc, have been used. Which is surprising I guess, since you say cartridge brass adheres to shape with absolute miniscule amount of pressure. But I guess I'm not alone after all, since Mac and gotcha replied with agreements !.!.!

Well if so-and-so and so-and-so agree with you, it must be so. Or maybe the blind swallowing a load of bs.
