Call a positive integer descending if, reading left to right, each of its digits (other than its leftmost) is less than or equal to the previous digit. For example, $4221$ and $751$ are descending while $476$ and $455$ are not descending. Determine whether there exists a positive integer $n$ for which $16^n$ is descending.
